English Literature and Language tutoring and TEFL classes

From 26 £ /h

The lessons are tailored so each student can achieve their own personal learning goals. I provide TEFL for both young learners and adults, in General English, Business English and IELTS preparation.
Lessons for young learner are done using fun activities and TPR to encourage guided discovery. Mistakes are welcomed as they help young learners to learn and remember. Lessons include reading, listening, writing, grammar, phonics and conversation to build the confidence, vocabulary and proficiency of each learner based on their individual needs.
Classes for adults can be General English, Business English or IELTS preparation and again all of the skills are incorporated, whilst the lessons are individually suited to the desired learning objectives and areas most in need of improvement or support.
Lessons for British students are provided for KS1 and KS2 students, as well as 11+ exam preparation. again lessons are tailored for the individuals needs as well as focussing on topics they enjoy. Lessons for younger learners focus on learning through fun and finding what they need support with and teaching techniques that work for the individual. Again, young learners are reassured that our philosophy is 'mistakes help us learn'.

About Me

I am passionate about the English language and understand how important it is for people who work in or with English speaking countries to be able to interact fully in English.
I love teaching and my approach is that it should be interesting and engaging as well as educational. Mistakes and corrections are a massive part of the learning experience and should be embraced and not feared. I believe it important to tailor lessons to the learner's desired outcomes, whether that be to live in an English speaking nation and be an active part of their community, or communicate with English speaking businesses.
I am also very aware of how important it is for parents to be able to give their children the best possible chances in life through a firm knowledge of English. Finding topics that are age and level appropriate but also tailored to the interests of my students is essential. I want help my students to study and learn the language they will need or use on a daily basis.
Every child is different which is a wonderful challenge as every class is different and no two days are the same. I love meeting children for the first time and being able to reach them, finding what works best for them on their learning journey. Some children love TPR, some love my toys and props especially if the teddies applaud when the child does well. Older ones tend to enjoy showing you their capabilities and respond well to their teacher showing a genuine interest in them as people as well as students. I am patient, calm and approachable. A big part of teaching is meeting and finding out about people. I am interested in my students as a people and not just a students, this way I can help them to achieve all of their learning goals.

Experience / Qualifications

In January I began working for Education First Kids as an Online Teacher, teaching English to young students. My students range from 6 years to 10 years of age and have varying levels of English. I work with absolute beginners through to approximately intermediate students on a large variety of topics. Lessons usually have a skill focus for the first half of the lesson and two-way conversation for the latter half, continuing the lesson topic. I love teaching these children, especially as I have a lot of recurring classes with the same core students. This allows me to see their progression and learn more about them, enabling me to adapt my classes to best suit their learning style.
In April I also began to work for Centro Educativo Huayue as an Online Teacher. I teach English to young students ranging from 8 to 11 years of age and their level goes from beginner to intermediate. I vary the skill focus according to the students’ needs and the lessons follow Blink Learning for content. I teach the same students each week, so I am able to enjoy watching their progress and tailor the lesson to their needs. These are group lessons and I have had additional students added over the months as they have become increasingly popular with student and parents.
For the last year I have also been tutoring English students through face to face, one to one, online and in person sessions. I tutor KS1, KS2 and 11+/Grammar School Entrance Exam preparation.

I give my classes based on each student's need. Whether you want to focus on written professional french or simply conversation, I will adapt to what fits you most.

My master's degree in visual arts will allow you to learn in a creative way, adapated to your needs and goals. I have spent more than 8 years of my life in foreign countries therefore know the difficulties of learning a new language. I speak fluent english which can be useful for beginners :)

I am a fully qualified primary teacher (female - age 40) with 16 years of experience in the UK and overseas. I am fully DBS checked and can provide excellent references.

I am currently available to provide focused one-to-one support with school work - either helping with home learning or with "catch-up" to fill in gaps from missed time at school. I can carry out assessments to identify areas for development, or can focus on specific areas requested by parents.

I'm happy to work with anyone online or can come to your home if local. No problem if you'd like to meet for a chat first.

Hello, my name is Justyna and I am a near-native English speaker. Although I was originally born in Poland, I moved to the UK as a teenager and learnt not only to speak but also to think in English. I graduated with the first class honours degree from the top 1 university in Poland. Moreover, I commenced a PhD in Social Anthropology at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.
By teaching English to teenagers and adults I help them make their dreams come true - go to a dream high school or university, find a new job, get promoted or travel the world. I specialise in assisting my students to break through their language barriers and become confident English speakers. I’ve created my own program in which I use a variety of resources including videos, podcasts and articles from UK magazines. However, what truly distinguishes me from other tutors is the ability to create a warm, welcoming and positive atmosphere in which students can truly learn, grow and develop their skills.

This class can help improve your child's English grade. Through the use of a baseline test I can initially identify gaps to help improve their foundational skills, which includes grammar, spelling, and vocabulary. Once, these are strengthened we will move onto writing for different genres. Enabling children to develop and adapt their writing style to match different genres. Across all levels we will use different texts to develop their reading and comprehension skills. As a primary school teacher with over a decade worth of experience I have planned and taught English from age 4-11.

The subjective learning has become a crucial task in today’s life where gadgets play a major role in taking away time. I can be your friend, teacher and also a parent who always nurtures you with care in learning a subject with ease.

I have an experience of teaching and getting First Class results for about multiples of hundred a year with a little experience of about 5 years. Give me a chance and I will never let you down in your studies

English and Math are beautiful subjects that may be challenging for some but are not. I specialize in helping students learn the English Language and Math for personal use or preparing for exams like the SAT, GCSE, GRED, and so on. I aim to provide a comfortable teaching experience for my students which would also challenge them but not be overwhelming. I also give assignments and homework to track my students' performance. I ensure i work hand in hand with my students for them to achieve their goals.

I specialise in creating a supportive and creative space for you to experiment with your voice, learn from classic and contemporary works, and gain practical skills to elevate your writing.

Through my classes, you’ll gain:

- Insight into the craft of poetry, prose and drama from a published author, poet and playwright.

I put you at ease with the language you are learning. My ultimate goal is to have a simple to complex-level conversation. Please let me know how I can help you speak French more fluently. If you are a beginner, we will have plenty of time to work on your specific issues.
